Here is a most excellent article I was reading today. It is rather length but worth the read. I was going to write Mr. Philpot and tell him what a clear, precise, and excellent understanding he provided in this work on imputation and impartation. But when I went to get the address I noticed it was written in 1845!

Shucks. Late for church once again.

lol. It sounds as if it could have been written yesterday.

"Of him are you in Christ Jesus." See how the Holy Spirit, by the pen of Paul, ascribes the whole to God; nothing is given to the creature to do; not the weight of a straw is laid upon the back of freewill. God does it altogether. In eternity, God ordained and gave the everlasting union; and in time, by a work of grace, he cut the scion off the old stock, brought it in close apposition to the new, bound them round together, that they may never more be separated, by the cords of faith and the cement of love; and in time brought about also that close coalescing, that vital junction between the two, which causes the sap to flow freely into their souls, and make them abundant in every good word and work.

AMEN!

Thank you, Harleyd, for this wonderful sermon. I hope we all find time to read it and find comfort in it.
